Chapter 96
that so Abigail said calmly, and it sounded like she didn’t care at all.
y didn’t think the conversation would end like that, and she snuck a look at Eric. He wasn’t showing any expression, and she couldn’t even tell if he was angry or not. Because of that, she couldn’t help but sigh silently, wondering how Abigail and Eric’s relationship had never improved after all this
time.
When it was nighttime, Abigail and Eric finally arrived at the Gomez residence.
When Derrick saw Abigail’s bright and beautiful eyes, he was ecstatic. He immediately reached his hands toward her and said with a smile, “Come here and let me have a good look at you!”
Abgail took two steps forward and held his hands. Then, she greeted him with a smile as well, “Hello, Grandpa.”
Derrick took a closer look at her eyes and said happily, “Not bad! Your eyes are still as beautiful as ever! I’m glad they’re cured now. Otherwise, it would’ve been a shame!”
“Why wouldn’t they be cured when I’m around?” said Eric.
Derrick glanced at Eric and said, “You’ve suddenly done something right this time.”
Then, Derrick lamented, “I’m glad Eric didn’t let you go back then, Abby. Otherwise, there’s no promise that your eyes will ever be cured at all. Although what he did was wrong, he had good intentions all along. After all, he just wanted you to recover your vision, so please don’t hate him, alright?”
That wasn’t what Abigail thought at all. From her perspective, Eric only cured her vision because he was feeling guilty for snatching the corneas away from her. She also thought that he didn’t want his reputation to be tarnished and have people criticizing him behind his back.
However, since Derrick had already voiced his mind, she had no choice but to answer with a nod.
“I’m glad you can understand him!” He laughed heartily and felt great. Then, he pulled her to a seat, and they ignored Eric the whole time.
When it was time for dinner, Derrick even picked some food for Abigail himself. He was treating her way better than how he did in the past. After they were done eating, Derrick hesitantly brought up the divorce.
“Abby, now that your eyes are cured, do you still want a divorce?”
After the operation was done, Abigail and Eric had been avoiding the topic the whole time. They tacitly tried not to talk about it. So, when Derrick brought it up that night, they were a little caught off guard.
Abigail just stayed silent and said nothing. So, Derrick turned to Eric and asked, “What about you, Eric? What do you think about it? Back then, you said you would agree to the divorce after Abby’s eyes were cured. Do you still feel the same way now?”
Eric stayed quiet for a moment and glanced at Abigail. Then, he said, “I’ll respect her decision.”
“So, what about you, Abby?” Derrick turned back to Abigail.
Then, she said nonchalantly, “Let’s talk about it next time.”
Right after she said that, Derrick and Eric’s mood seemed to have improved at the same time.
“However, I have a request,” she added.
“Go on. What is it?” asked Derrick.
“I would like to work at Gomez Group. I don’t care about what position it is,” she said.
Upon hearing that, Derrick and Eric were both stunned.
“Why would you like to work out of the blue?” Derrick couldn’t help asking.
“No reason in particular. I just want something to do, or my mind will just run wild again. Besides, it’s time for me to do something anyway. Otherwise, I’ll feel like my life has no purpose.”
When Derrick heard that, he thought she made sense and figured it would be nice to let her do something. So, he turned to Eric and asked, “What do you
think?”
“Of course.” Eric said to Abigail, “In that case, you should work as my secretary.”
